Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Find the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

1. Batson PE. Applied physics. Plasmonic modes revealed. Science. 2012;335:47–8.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. O’Neill MJ, O’Neill RJ. Genomics: Something to swing about. Nature. 2014;513:174–5.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Yohe G, Andronova N, Schlesinger M. Climate. To hedge or not against an uncertain climate future? Science. 2004;306:416–7.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Ernstorfer R, Harb M, Hebeisen CT, Sciaini G, Dartigalongue T, Miller RJD. The formation of warm dense matter: experimental evidence for electronic bond hardening in gold. Science. 2009;323:1033–7.

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

An authored book

1. Jain RK, Triandis HC, Weick CW. Managing Research, Development, and Innovation. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2010.

An edited book

Blog post

1. Hamilton K. Computers May Be Evolving But Are They Intelligent? [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2016 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/technology/computers-may-be-evolving-but-are-they-intelligent/

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report

1. Government Accountability Office. Vocational Education: 2-Year Colleges Improve Programs, Maintain Access for Special Populations. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1995 Jul. Report No.: HEHS-95-163.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

1. Kasun KK. Economic effectiveness of physician organizational models in a California integrated healthcare system [Doctoral dissertation]. [Phoenix, AZ]: University of Phoenix; 2010.

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

1. Barry E. A Dozen Writers Put Down Their Pens to Prove the Might of a March. New York Times. 2012 May 13;A9.

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1,2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
